3 out of 5 stars ok,just okay   October 1, 2007

This book is not very imaginative and I guess for a new cook ,it fills the bill.Her special on Food Network in India was fascinating,as well as Spain,.Her stint on Melting Pot was a decent introduction to Indian Cooking. But this book was trying to be all things,from Salad Nicoise to Upma.The third star is for her effort,Recipes, so -so.She seems to have captured many peoples attention these days with Top Chef and her recent marriage,/divorce from Salman Rushdie and her scar,but where is the depth?Havent seen it yet.

This is a cook book for goodness sake. Why all the attitude. This is a good book for the beginner in Indian cooking. I had eaten this type of food at homes of some of my friends and wanted to learn more. This book filled the bill. Good cooking, everyone.

Padma herself had given this book to an ex boyfriend of mine (who kept it)and I have been dying to find it ever since. The recipes of her native Indian quisine are still lingering on my taste buds. The recipes I found to be foolproof and easy. I have impressed many guests with her simply delicious meals. I hope the Men who bought this book could look past Padmas beauty and media coverage and just expierience the quality of these delightful dishes. Her where to buy section is also very helpful but not Mandatory to get mouthwatering results.

Another reviewer panned this book b/c she bought it simply to "know Padma better." This is a cookbook, not a biography. The recipes are delicious, low in cholesterol and low-fat. They are easy to make and the instructions are clear, so the book is accessible to new cooks but still interesting for those with more experience in the kitchen. I think this is a terrific book, the recipes I've used have all been delicious (especially the Spinach and Garbanzo Tapas). I highly recommend it.
